Abstract
Objective: The first aim of this study was to conduct a systematic and meta-analysis review considering both single-group interventions and controlled design to determine the effectiveness of interventions designed to reduce overall perfectionism, its two higher-order factors (Perfectionistic Strivings and Perfectionistic Concerns), and its dimensions measured separately. The second aim was to determine the relevance of moderators in terms of effectiveness.
Method: A systematic search process was performed in the Web of Science, Scopus, PsycINFO, and Psicodoc databases, using a common search strategy.
Results: A total of 33 studies were found. The interventions demonstrated clinical effectiveness with small to moderate effect sizes, except for the baseline-to-post-intervention measures of Perfectionistic Concerns, Socially prescribed perfectionism, and Personal standards. Scale type was found to be a significant moderator of Perfectionistic Concerns, Socially prescribed perfectionism, Perfectionistic Strivings, and Self-oriented perfectionism. The country was found to be significant for Perfectionistic Strivings and Self-oriented perfectionism. The treatment goal was only revealed to be significant for Concerns over mistakes.
目的:本研究的第一个目的是对单组干预和对照设计进行系统和荟萃分析,以确定旨在减少整体完美主义、其两个高阶因素(完美主义奋斗和完美主义关注)以及单独测量的维度的干预的有效性。第二个目的是确定调节者在有效性方面的相关性。方法:采用通用的检索策略,对Web of Science、Scopus、PsycINFO、Psicodoc等数据库进行系统检索。结果:共找到33项研究。除了完美主义关注、社会规定的完美主义和个人标准的基线至干预后测量外,干预显示出小到中等的临床效果。量表类型对完美主义关注、社会规定型完美主义、完美主义奋斗和自我导向型完美主义有显著调节作用。研究发现,这个国家在完美主义奋斗和自我导向型完美主义方面具有重要意义。治疗目标的重要性仅体现在对错误的担忧上。
